You choose the moment; the studio turns it into a 9:16 video with karaoke-style captions, kept clear of the apps’ buttons.
A podcast clip is a short vertical video of one strong moment from an episode, posted to Reels, TikTok or YouTube Shorts to bring new listeners to the full show. Open the episode above, pick the moment, and the studio makes a 9:16 clip where the words fill the screen and light up as they are spoken.
Be clear about what this is. It doesn’t watch a video podcast and pick highlights with AI; you choose the moment, and it makes that moment shareable. It works from audio (a video file is used for its sound only), it captions what is said, and it saves an MP4 with no watermark. For square promos in your show’s brand style, use the podcast audiogram maker instead.
Vertical (9:16) is selected on the card. Press Choose an episode (Ctrl+O or ⌘+O). Long recordings open on their liveliest 30 seconds.
The Audio panel opens first. Press Best 15 s, Best 30 s or Best 60 s for a starting point, then drag the window on the timeline, or the Clip start and Clip end handles, onto the exact line you want.
Open Captions and press Make captions: the clip’s sound goes to our speech provider and comes back as timed words. Type over any mistakes. Pop shows a few big words at a time; Highlight lights up each word in a line.
Press G to show where TikTok, Reels and Shorts place their buttons and descriptions. The Big captions layout already keeps text out of those zones.
Press Export, keep 1080p, then Export video. On a phone, Share sends it straight to the app you post from; on a computer, Download video.
People decide in the first second or two whether to keep watching, usually with the sound off. The clip has to make sense as text before it makes sense as audio.
Caption style is the biggest visual choice in a vertical clip. All five are in the Captions panel under Look:
Size and Capitals fine-tune them. The highlight colour comes from Highlight under Style, or from your cover art. Word timings come from the speech model where it provides them and are estimated within the line where it doesn’t.
Your episode file stays on your device. Pressing Make captions sends only the selected clip’s sound, compressed, to our speech-recognition provider, which writes it out without keeping it. If you would rather send nothing, paste the words and press Use this text; the timing is then estimated.
Making the same moment in several shapes is quick: change the format in Templates and export again. Your captions and clip stay as they are.
Usually 20 to 60 seconds. Short enough to watch twice, long enough to land one idea. The Length buttons in Audio set 15, 30, 45, 60 or 90 seconds from where the clip starts, and a clip can be up to 10 minutes if you need it.
It suggests a starting point: Best 15 s, Best 30 s and Best 60 s jump to the most energetic talking. It doesn’t understand what is being said, so you make the final choice.
No. A video file opens for its sound only; the picture is replaced by your cover art, captions and wave. For cutting video footage, use a video editor.
Captions where each word changes colour at the moment it is spoken, so viewers can follow along. Choose Highlight in the Captions panel.
1080×1920 pixels at 1080p, or 720×1280 at 720p, in a 9:16 shape. That fits Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Stories.
